Unite for Greater Heights

            We only had 5 weeks during the 3rd grading period. It is only a small period of time but all I can say is that it is stressful especially the last week before the Christmas Program. In this small period of time I realize how important Unity is.

       Speech Choir competetion, Rescue Kabataan Magpasikat and Hiphop Finals. These are the things that we have joined in just this week. A two weeks time of preparation. Seems impossible to complete all right? However what made us become successful in this three events that we have joined is that our Unity.

          I realize that when we unite we can make better and more things and we can reach greater heights. Through our unity, we managed to won on the Speech choir competion and on the Rescue Kabataan Magasikat. Though we did not win in the Hiphop finals we are still happy for we did our best to perform well. And this is my realization for the third grading period.

Love: The True Essence of Christmas

           During the time when we are still young, Gifts are the first thing that comes in our mind. We expect that we will recieve a gift from our loved ones. However, as we grow, our insight about Christmas becomes deeper.

           For me as a 15 years-old student, my insight about Christmas had already change. I realized that recieving gifts is not the real essence of it. Thus, Christmas is the time where our saviour Jesus Christ was born. The only son that God sent to this world to save as from our sinful acts. For me now, Christmas is a time to make our relationship with God stronger. Time to thank him and be reflected on the things that had happen during that time.

           Another one is that Christmas is also the best time to show our love to one another. It is not about the foods and gifts that should be present in Christmas. It is our love towards each other. No food for Christmas? That's okay as long as you have your family bind together having a good time and great memories and being a helpful person to the in needs.

           To cut it short Christmas is all about our love. Love towards God, Family, Friends and others. We should all remember that Jesus died in the cross for us. We should be thankful and spread joy in this world.

Equality To Reality

        In a world where we seek that all of our voices will be heard. We seek for equal opportunities, rights, development, respect and acceptance. A dream that no one should be left behind and all will be on top. Can this dream will be turned into reality or this reality   will be turned in just a dream?

          As we open our eyes we cannot deny the fact that we lack everything that could make our world unite and grow further. Equality is being set aside for the beliefs that "Men is stronger than women", "A men should be the one to work for the family". Such beliefs pulls equality away from us. Because of this beliefs men abuse their strength and take the rights of children and women. However with the help of the Violence Against Women and Children Act equality is nearer in our hands for it protects women and children that are being abused and their rights are being violated.

            However this is not the only problem we are facing right now for as our world evolves different sexualities and genders appeared and the term LGBTQIA+ was born. This stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersexual, Asexual and the recently added Pansexuals. They have shaken the world and seeks for equal rights and opportunities for they are being humiliated because of the norms that we have. We have our Gender and Development that does seeks to develop each one of us by respecting and acceepting the capability of one another. It is not about what we look like but it how we show who we really are.

         With these two important things today here in our land, the VAWC and GAD shall only be turn into reality if we accept, love and respect each of us regardless of sexuality, gender and sex. Let us all turn equality to reality.
